Synagoge Buttenheim, Jewish synagogue in Buttenheim, Germany
The synagogue building contained a prayer room, accommodation for traveling Jews, and a religious school for children, supported by the Deichselbach stream.
The Jewish community of Buttenheim constructed their synagogue in 1740 near the Lower Castle, serving as their religious center until its dissolution in 1892.
The synagogue interior featured a Torah shrine in Rococo style with Corinthian columns, reflecting the architectural preferences of 18th-century German Jewish communities.
The remaining Jewish families sold the building to a local brewery in 1937 to prevent its conversion into a Hitler Youth recreation center.
The synagogue complex included a mikveh for ritual purification, which received its water supply from a side branch of the Deichselbach stream.
